Denim is a sturdy cotton twill loved for jeans, jackets, and accessories. Weight, stretch, and finish determine drape, durability, and comfort in finished garments.
- Ounce weight from 8 oz lightweight to 14 oz rigid affects how the fabric molds to the body.
- Stretch percentage changes ease of movement and recovery after sitting or bending.
- Finish types such as raw, washed, or coated influence color retention and texture over time.
Match weight and stretch to the garment you plan to sew.
